New Year Resolution for 2009

Happy 2009 to all of my readers! May the new year bring everyone warmth, comfort, joy, and happiness! As we all know when a new year comes around, means a new resolution, goal, or promise. Does this mean that we have only 1 thing we change or can we do a couple? Anyways, I have a few…

Getting Back Into Shape!

My profession as a full time web programmer, I’ve started to become very physically out of shape. This is due to 10 hours each day sitting in front of my damn monitors. The most strenuous exercise I get is when I scale about 24 steps in order to go to the bathroom each day. So my physical health has crashed immensely and not to mention my young drinking habits have cost me the wrong six pack on my torso area. I must get jacked and chiseled again like I was a few years ago when I was benching 230. This is my highest priority since I have my wedding in May.

Quit Smoking

This is probably the worse topic for me. I’ve tried quitting um, lets say, about 3 times now and I’m still smoking? Yeah, it’s pathetic and smoking is a very disgusting habit. The longest I was able to go without a cigarette was for 3 months straight. This time, I hope to make it the last. I’m working on obtaining a prescription for that Chantex pill. I’ll write more posts to keep you informed on my progress.

Improving My Career

This means I’m going back to school! My boss is giving me the opportunity for me to get my degree so I’m currently registering for some night classes. I’m actually looking for some classes that will help me become a better UI (User Interface) / UX (User Experience) developer.

I would also like to get poky.com (my employer) launched and 100% ready for the market. Each day that passes is a day closer to get our application ready for the real world. The core functionality needs to be completed first before I can go back and start going enhancement crazy with even better UI solutions. I also have a few online marketing strategies that need to be implemented however, I’m currently the only full-time developer actively working on this crm application. Since there’s so much to do, this takes me to the next resolution.

Spending More Time with My Fiance

I work too much, therefore I don’t spend much time with my Fiance Andrea. I’ve made a promise to myself to not work 10 hours a day on poky and spend more of my free time with her. She is too understanding about my career life that she allows me to work all the time. I don’t want this “subject” to effect our marriage later on, so it is wise for me to remember that I have my own personal life and agenda.
